Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Still one of the best gifts I’ve gotten from a German student: an east German pickle. 032
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Why should you want a house with massively thick adobe walls and deep casement windows? Beagle perch. 021
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 02/07/2026My Trump voting, socialism hating 82 yr old dad loves Swiss trains. Loves how clean and reliable and punctual and silent and fast they are. Loves loves loves them. If only he could understand he loves the physical embodiment of democratic socialism. 121
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 23/06/2026And now we’ve got a young John Turturro! Did not know Miami Vice was such a breeding ground for great actors. 021
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Chilling in my Swiss hotel and working, an episode of Miami Vice on in the background. This episode gave a young Edward James Olmos a sexy slo-mo surf moment. Plus he does karate. You go Edward! 111
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Watching these Swiss analysts break down the Belgium-Iran game. Guy on right I understand 80%. Middle 50%. Guy on left, 10%? They all understand each other but man Swiss German feels like a different language. 000
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Having a giant breed means playing a lot of hopscotch to get around your house. 051
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 06/04/2026This is our Kirby. Try to game out potential permutations. Kirby also gets called Kirblet, Kirbles, Shmirbs, Shmirblet, the Kirbs and Kirbletron. 010
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 18/03/2026I got sick of my door stops being broken off or kicked into the hallway and taken by students. HEAVY METAL FTW 🤘 011
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 05/03/2026With 3 hours left to vote, check out my wife reminiscing about Morphine and her life in the 90s. This essay has it all: Cure for Pain, Ghosts, Shriners, all backdropped by the streets of LA. And she was so cute! marchxness.com#/1stround-ho... 162
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Wally, that adorable bastard, destroyed my Kindle eReader. I have taken it as a sign from the universe that my last Amazon device had to die. Switching to Boox. 200
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 31/01/2026The ICE out protest in Houston last night was huge. Way more people than I expected, and I expected a lot. Notable: zero of the Trumpers and ICE supporters I saw in comments sections promising to show up actually followed through. Not a single counter-protestor. All nazi cap, no cattle. 062
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 25/01/2026I took this picture at last year's Houston No Kings protest. He also had a giant ass flagpole, yet I was told I couldn't affix a little paint stick to my sign because that could be considered "a weapon". We never staged a violent coup, yet somehow only we need to be policed. 17412
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 03/01/2026Here is an example of a much better statement from my congresswoman. Jeffries is an incompetent leader. He has to go. 010
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Wally likes the double queen bed arrangement at the hotel. One bed all for him! 020
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 16/11/2025The entire #Rockets team went to Jabari Smith's high school in Georgia to see his jersey retired. That's some adorable team chemistry. I am feeling really good about my Rockets this year. 030
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Houston #NOKINGS. Bless this guy’s heart. He stood there alone, sweltering under his gear and guns, watching us in our joy and solidarity. Terrible life choices culminating in a solo fascist project. 6292
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Flag flying high at my neighborhood Whataburger. Fascism not on the menu today. 010
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 14/09/2025I don’t even understand how Wally is able contort himself to get in these positions. And yes our 50s wood wall panels are completely jacked up, but that’s okay, a bears gotta be comfy. 021
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 15/08/2025You have Wally and Kirby’s vote. No dog lover should be deprived of dog. 110
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 22/07/2025No cheating! Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it? #FilmSky 🎥🎞️ 020
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Watched Kurosawa's High and Low tonight. So good. All billionaires should be strapped into chairs Clockwork Orange style and forced to watch this film. 021
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Just saw ICK at its Houston premiere last night. Kinda sorta a Houston movie. Worth seeing in theaters next weekend if you are into wild, fast-paced comic #horror. But this poster is a crime against Brandon Routh and Mena Suvari. They are still gorgeous on screen. 000
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 18/07/2025This week I watched the Smithereens and Barry Lyndon, and I realized Wren and Barry are the same insufferable, grafting, drifting jackass characters. Quite the convergence. 320
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 09/07/2025Wally is gets one of two shout-outs on every walk: Beethoven or Cujo. His feelings get hurt when its Cujo. 010
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 27/06/2025In honor of Democratic Socialism's victory, I went to Houston's only legit bagel shop and ordered the Zohran, a toasted poppyseed with scallion schmear (Hot Bagel only has chive tho.) It's very good. 010
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Houston has an HEB (the beloved Texas grocery store chain), under a mid-rise and it is fantastic. 070
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Jalen Green, he may be the best smol shooting guard in America today. Available July 1st! Pre-order now! 100
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Please, no more Jalen Green. The outcome is not changing. 010
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 04/05/2025When you rush your #DnD prep: The adventure has a polymorph curse in the story, but I didn't bother to check on what a "Lemure" is and now my player is a level 19 lemur. No take backs. 010
Mark Johnson @htownmark.bsky.social · 03/05/2025This morning Kirby waltzed in proudly with a terminated baby possum in his mouth. Absolute apex predator. 000
